Windows 10 Mobile Fall Creators Update (version 1709, codenamed Feature 2) is the last feature update for Windows 10 Mobile, which was released to Windows Insiders on 11 October 2017, and then later to the general public on 24 October 2017.
Notably, it introduces design refreshes to most menus of the operating system, making their design fully black in most cases, which was likely done to make the operating system's user interface more suitable for OLED devices.
It is the last feature update released for the mobile operating system family as a whole before its cancellation was officially announced.
Unlike prior updates and despite its name, this update is not the mobile counterpart of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Instead, it is a separate fork of the previous feature update's codebase and only includes select backports of new Redstone 3 features. This is a result of an internal reorganization, which resulted in the dissolution of the Microsoft Mobile division and the reallocation of resources towards the Windows Core OS project.
The release announcement for build 15204 described the Feature 2 branch as such:[1]
Today we are excited to be releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16176 for PC to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. We’re continuing work to refine OneCore with some code refactoring so that teams can start checking in new code. So, you still won’t see any noticeable changes or new features in new builds just yet.
We are also releasing Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 15204 to Insiders in the Fast ring. As we release new builds from our Development Branch for PC, we will also be doing the same for Windows 10 Mobile just like we have been in the past. However, Windows Insiders will likely notice some minor differences. The biggest difference being that the build number and branch won’t match the builds we will be releasing for PC. This is a result of more work we’re doing to converge code into OneCore – the heart of Windows across PC, tablet, phone, IoT, HoloLens, Xbox and more as we continue to develop new improvements for Windows 10 Mobile and our enterprise customers.
